Table saw mods
by Jon on Dec.19, 2009, under workshop
There are a couple of things I want to change/improve on my TS200 table saw.
First 2 things on the list are:
I’ve got some 3mm Al from fleabay for the insert – just need to get around to cutting it to size. This is likely going to mean making some changes to the riving knife – I can see no way that it’ll fit through the hole once the insert is in place.
Extraction and guard is something I need to think more about. It’s not going to change until I get the new saw station built – that’s for sure. The guard will be removed (permanently) from the riving knife. It’ll be brought in on a pole type arrangement. My first thoughts were to have the pole drop down from the roof – that way it’ll never be in the way when cutting sheets. However, since the saw station will be moveable dropping from the roof simply ain’t practical.

Well the ZCI has been cut to size and the corners rounded off.
The holes were drilled, using the old insert as a template, countersunk and then the insert bolted in place.
I clamped a big bit of wood on top of the insert and slowly raised the blade through the Al.
All that remains to be done is to expand the slot to allow the riving knife to be attached.
You can see a pic of the ZCI here. When I work out how to put an image into the comments I’ll redo it.
